What a weekend for the IDB Community Band! An early rise for some, but we are buzzin' after being placed 5th out of 13 bands in the 4th section. An incredible achievement for our very first Scottish Championships. A big shout out to our percussion team 📣🥁 who kept us steady and to our conductor, John Boax, who wore many, many hats this weekend 🦸 Scottish Brass Band AssociationWe'd also like to congratulate Bon-Accord Silver Band B and Coalburn Brass Band Family Intermedia

On Saturday our senior band took to the stage to compete in the second section of the Scottish Championships🎶 It wasn’t the result we were hoping for but the band were happy with our performance💕 We’re super proud of our conductor Joshua Parkhill who adjudicated for the first time with the 4B section🏆 We can’t wait to do it all again next year ✨

It was great to welcome Dalmellington Band for a shared open rehearsal tonight in preparation for our upcoming performances this weekend🎺 Only 3 days to go! 💕

The IDB Community Band had our training day for the Scottish Championships on Sunday. It was great to see Chic Keenan, who took us down memory lane, rehearsing and playing his arrangement of Basin St Blues. Rehearsal of the test piece went well. Feels like it's coming together. Bit more work to do, but our conductor, John Boax, keeps us on our toes. Looking forward to competing in our first Scottish Championships in Perth on the 8th March💕
